But these have two legs:

A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said.

It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled in hand luggage on to as many as 10 aircraft.

Police are searching premises after 21 people were arrested. Home Secretary John Reid said they believed the "main players" were accounted for.

New stories are popping up by the minute.  US and UK airport security officials have banned all liquids on planes.  Airlines have taken it a step further, and have banned all carry-ons from UK passengers.  London's Heathrow Airport, where the planes were to take off from, has been virtually shut down, due to airlines cancelling arrival and destination flights.  And there has already been some hints that Al Qaeda could have been behind this.

In other words, this isn't a good day to be travelling.

This is in the wake of an arrest in Ohio of two men from Dearborn, Michigan - a well known Arab enclave:

MARIETTA, Ohio - Two men were charged Wednesday with money laundering in support of terrorism after authorities said they found airplane passenger lists and information on airport security checkpoints in their car.

Deputies stopped Osama Sabhi Abulhassan, 20, and Ali Houssaiky, 20, both of Dearborn, Mich., on a traffic violation Tuesday. They found the flight documents along with $11,000 cash and 12 phones in the car, said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.

Prosecutor Susan Vessels declined to say how the phones, cash or flight information involved terrorism.

Abulhassan and Houssaiky admitted buying about 600 phones in recent months at stores in southeast Ohio, said sheriff's Maj. John Winstanley. The men said they sold the phones to someone in Dearborn, a Detroit suburb.

Investigators going through the car after the pair were pulled over in Marietta, about 90 miles southeast of Columbus, also found a map that showed locations of Wal-Mart stores from Ohio through Kentucky, Tennessee and into North and South Carolina, Vessels said.

UK officials stated they had been investigating the plotters for a few months.  Did the Dearborn arrest have any connection with the plotters, and possibly accelerated their plans?  Right now, nobody's really talking about that possibility.  And what about the Egyptian students that disappeared yesterday?  They've found three, but eight are still missing.  Any link?

Malkin, as usual, is all over it.  So is Hot Air, who's been keeping up with coverage since the Dearborn arrests were made public last night.  I'll be around the house today, so I'll keep up with this as well.

The Blinking idiots over at Kos, namely "punditron", blame Bush, as usual (hat tip: Kathryn Lopez at Corner, because you know I rarely go over there):

Today, we can see again what Britain gets for being a staunch ally of Bush. They get home-grown terrorists, bombings, and more terrorist plots.

You have to wonder what exactly are the benefits of hitching yourself to George W. It's like when you consider making an investment or major purchase. You look at the pros and the cons. We all know what the cons are: your people become a target for terrorists, and you breed your own terrorist cells.

So, what are the benefits? Ummmmm, well, uhhhh, okay not many. Blair has sold out his people so he can cozy up on Bush's lap. Tony is like any other man in power, he wants to more power himself, and be closer to those who have even more power.

Yeah.  Lamont has to be proud to be supported by Kos.

Connecticut, these are the people you want to represent you?
